Article Title: High mobility group box-1 release from H2O2-injured hepatocytes due to sirt1 functional inhibition
doi: 10.3748/wjg.v25.i36.5434
Figure Lengend Snippet: Sirt1 inhibits high mobility group box-1 translocation and release. A: Acetylated HMGB1 levels determined by immunoprecipitation. EX527, a Sirt1 inhibitor inhibited sirt1 level and promoted HMGB1 acetylation; B: High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) expression in the nucleus or cytoplasm determined by Western blot; C: The mRNA and protein levels of Sirt1. BNL CL 2 cells were transfected with control lentiviral vector or Sirt1 shRNA lentiviral vector for 48 h. The mRNA and protein levels of Sirt1 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. Multiplicity of infection, refers to the number of lent virus adsorption on the cells and the ratio of the number of cells in culture; D: HMGB1 translocation; E: HMGB1 content in medium determined by ELISA. All data are presented as the mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was done by the Student’s t -test. b P
Article Snippet: The levels of HMGB1 in the culture medium were measured by ELISA kit (Chondrex Co. Ltd, Redmond, United States) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
